Anyone not have a bump?

[SamanthaH92]

Is there anyone that doesn't have a bump? I am fairly big anyways, 5ft 7 and 15 stone. Lost half a stone since becoming pregnant. I am just over 18 weeks and although some jeans are a bit tight i don't actually have a bump. This is my second baby, with my first i had no bump either. I had a scan right at the end because i went in for reduced movements at 36+ weeks. The midwife told me i didn't look pregnant. Also during the operation (c section) a midwife asked me if i was sure i was pregnant as i had no bump. Anyone else like this?

Me, 26 weeks, just look chubby all over, thicker waist but no bump.
Was a tad disheartened at NCT that the other women had a solid obvious bump.

Yeah i see all these bumps and wish i had one. I don't understand why i don't. I know I'm a bigger girl but surly i should get one? Makes me worried something is wrong. I am on aspirin to make sure baby is growing properly and getting all the nutrients and blood supply as they are saying that's why DD was small x

I didn't get a bump until about 25 weeks so don't worry it will come!

I was like this. I spent a lot of time just looking fatter/thicker in the waist than usual. I literally looked like I’d just stuffed some padding down my front rather than having a proper sticky out bump. It wasn’t until I was rapidly approaching 40 weeks that I felt like I had a proper bump, but still nothing like these beach ball type tidy bumps that some women get. This didn’t help my anxiety about the size of the baby when in the same week my midwife told me she was concerned growth had tailed off and that every person that week told me how tiny I was. Turns out DD was a whisker off 9lb so I must have just been hiding her!! Possibly the only good thing about the lack of bump is that at a week postpartum I don’t feel like I’m still huge and wobbly (even though my stretch marks are still HIDEOUS!!). Obviously not back to pre-pregnancy size, but I feel ok ish about how I look and I didn’t expect to so I’m taking that as a win!

My bump didn't start to appear until about 22 weeks, I wouldn't worry about it.

I mean i wouldn't mind if i didn't have a massive bump but atleast something that looked like a bump lol x

I had a MASSIVE bump with my DD who was 11lb5oz (!!) and I'm only 5'2"! I had the opposite desire - to have a smaller bump!

I'm hoping this current pregnancy won't be so large...

I wouldn't worry too much OP.

I am quite slim but tall and only recently (in the last week or so) got an obvious bump and I am now 32weeks.

It did get annoying with everyone commenting on how small I was, but Midwifes/scans advised that he was healthy and that was all I was concerned about.

Your bump will come, I'm 5'11 and 20st- I can only feel my bump this time round when I feel under my love handles (as hubby calls them) and boom bump!
I'm 2nd pregnancy so this time round bump is there already at 15 weeks- thank God I live out of leggings lol

I think its the way my stomach is shaped anyway that stops it from looking like a bump. I have a crease or line ( what ever you want to call it) so it just looks fatty x

I didn't have a bump until 25 weeks and then it was HUGE pretty much overnight! I went from people saying I didn't look pregnant to asking if it was twins! It was very uncomfortable too. I was always very jealous of those with neat little bumps.
